Comments

(Set forth by above question #, if applicable.
Use “Additional Comments" Sheet, if needed)

File#: 7-17993

#1: With microscopic hair comparison, even with the best notes, there is no way to determine the comparison
was performed correctly.

#2: The examination results set forth in the laboratory report are supported by the bench notes, but the
documentation is marginally adequate. The notes are not dated or initialed and are in pencil. RQ uses
abbreviations to indicate the microscopic characteristics of the hair. These abbreviations are difficult to interpret.
